EFR/DEA/O2 (Emergency First Response / Défibrillateur / Oxygène)
Nepteau runs Emergency First Response training — covering CPR, defibrillator use (DEA) and emergency oxygen administration — as a standalone calendar session, often timed alongside the Rescue Diver course. At a centre running dives in cold, sometimes current-affected water in the St-Laurent, first aid training is treated as a practical companion to dive safety rather than a bureaucratic checkbox. The course covers the full EFR curriculum: primary and secondary care, AED use and oxygen delivery for diving emergencies. For divers heading into technical diving with Nepteau, first aid competency is a natural part of the progression before moving into planned decompression or trimix work.

What people ask before booking
Nepteau trains under PADI for recreational diving and TDI, SDI and IANTD for technical diving. That covers everything from a first pool try to advanced trimix and rebreather courses.
Pool sessions run at the Aquadôme in LaSalle (1411 Rue Lapierre) and at the Complexe aquatique Laval, depending on the course. Check the calendar on their site for specific session locations and dates. Equipment rental from the shop is available for pool use.
Yes — Nepteau runs dedicated AVELO pool try-out sessions at multiple locations including Kahnawake, Laval and Montreal. Registration is by phone only at 514 337-5489. Dates are listed on the online calendar.
Three technicians handle all brands — Scubapro, Aqualung, Mares, Apex, Hollis, Atomic, Poseidon, OTS, OceanReef, Dacor, Diverite, Beauchat, and others. They also service dedicated O2 regulators and Poseidon rebreathers. Bring it in before your next trip to avoid delays.
Nepteau runs charters to wrecks in the St-Laurent and the Great Lakes — sites like the Belly Dumper (steel hull at 85 feet with three wooden barges nearby), the America (US waters, penetration for certified divers), and the Empress of Ireland. Fathom Five National Marine Park in Georgian Bay, which protects 22 wrecks, is also in the trip calendar.
Both. Éric Lachance holds a cavern certification he renews annually in Florida and can discuss that training path with interested divers. Under-ice diving is run at Carrière Morrison, which is favoured for early-season sessions because there's no current and visibility is usually good under the ice.
Free parking for customers in the shared lot on the corner of boulevard St-Laurent and Crémazie — the shop is in the small strip mall alongside Subway, Score and Burger King.
Tuesday and Wednesday 10:30–18:00, Thursday and Friday 10:30–21:00, Saturday 10:30–17:00. Closed Monday and Sunday. You can reach them by phone at 514 337-5489 or by email at [email protected].
